Mark Munoz has just one loss on his record since dropping down to the UFC’s middleweight division, that being a split decision loss to Yushin Okami, who is preparing to challenge UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva later this summer.

Munoz, at UFC 131 on Saturday night, left any doubters in the dust after his latest victory, an impressive performance against Top 10 opponent Demian Maia, a man that brought the fight to Munoz in Vancouver.

Adding Maia as the latest notch to his belt, Munoz believes that his win over the submission wizard cements his status among the upper echelon of the UFC middleweight division.
